NIGP 06009: Batteries and Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles (Including Recycled Types)

NIGP Item 06009, Batteries and Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles (Including Recycled Types), encompasses the procurement of EV charging equipment, parts, repair services, and turnkey installation of Level 2 and DC Fast Charging infrastructure at public facilities, fleet depots, airports, and transit hubs. State and local issuing bodies—municipalities, transit authorities, water districts, county governments, special districts, and state finance authorities—are actively soliciting under this code for both equipment supply and comprehensive design-build charging network deployment, with recent activity concentrated among California cities, Illinois state agencies, and Florida transit and county authorities.

Recent opportunities reflect two distinct procurement models: equipment-only purchases such as the County of Sacramento's as-needed parts RFB (cumulative value $75,000 across fueling and charging station supplies through Sacramento County Procurement Alliance) and the West Basin Municipal Water District's quotation for three ChargePoint Level 2 stations; and full-service design-build or operations contracts including the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians' turnkey network of thirty-two DC Fast Charging ports across Lincoln County, Oregon (RFP, response due July 15, 2026) and the Ontario International Airport Authority's installation of seventeen eGSE charging stations (IFB 2026-IFB-081, due June 1, 2026, estimated $4 million budget). California dominates recent posting activity with the City of Thousand Oaks executing two separate Level 2 installations at civic facilities (both sealed-bid IFBs in May 2026), while Illinois Finance Authority is managing multiple federal Charging and Fueling Infrastructure grant–funded community charging programs across northern and central regions with Level 2 and DC Fast installations at 35 to 33 public sites per project. Transit authorities including Broward County and Orange County are procuring charging infrastructure repairs and battery-electric vehicle charger installations at bus facilities under Federal Transit Administration funding with prevailing wage and DBE compliance. Geographic concentration spans California, Illinois, Florida, and Oregon, with recent solicitations emphasizing federally funded deployments through USDOT CFI, FHWA NEVI, FTA, and EPA programs that mandate BABA compliance, prevailing wage, uptime guarantees, and five-year operations and maintenance terms at minimum 97 percent availability with $100-per-day penalties for underperformance.
